Cast to Browser vs Widgets Now

Cast to Browser lets you mirror your iPhone or iPad screen directly to any web browser on the same Wi‑Fi network. Open a link on your laptop, desktop, TV box, or another phone, and instantly view your screen without installing a receiver app. If your car’s infotainment system includes a web browser, you can also use it to mirror your screen in the car—ideal for navigation, trip planning, or passenger viewing (availability and performance vary by car system).​ Use it for presentations, demos, sharing photos and videos with friends, or showing an app on a bigger screen while staying in control on your device. Designed for local streaming, Cast to Browser keeps things simple: connect, start, and share. KEY FEATURES • Mirror your screen to any modern browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox, In-Car Browser) • Works on your local network (Wi‑Fi/LAN) for fast, low-latency streaming • Great for meetings, classrooms, app demos, and home use • No receiver installation required—just open the browser page • Supports Personal Hotspot scenarios (when devices are connected to your hotspot) HOW IT WORKS • Make sure your devices are on the same network (Wi‑Fi or hotspot) • Start screen mirroring and share instantly • Open the provided URL in a browser on the receiving device Note: Streaming performance depends on your network quality and device capabilities.

Widget Now is a widget studio — and a way to keep one number in front of the people who share it with you. DESIGN YOUR OWN WIDGETS Start from 21 widget types: clocks, world clocks, calendars, countdowns, live weather, sunrise and sunset, moon phase, activity rings, steps, water, photos, battery, reminders, quotes and more. Then make them yours with 14 theme presets, 16 gradients, solid colours and photo backgrounds, 20 typefaces, and adjustable corners, padding and borders — with a live preview that updates as you edit. Every design works on both the Home Screen and the Lock Screen. TRACK ONE NUMBER TOGETHER Pick something you and someone else both care about — miles run, waters drunk, deals closed, pages read, days sober, money saved — and Widget Now keeps it in sync between you. Everyone's contributions roll into a single total with a leaderboard, and that number lands on every surface iOS offers: • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets • A Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • A full-screen dashboard when you AirPlay to an Apple TV Invite someone with a link, a message or a QR code. When they tap it, an App Clip shows them the group straight away — they can put it on their Lock Screen before installing anything. LIVE ACTIVITIES Design timers, event countdowns, progress trackers and live counters in your own colours and symbols, then run them on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. SYNCS WITH ICLOUD Your designs follow you across iPhone and iPad automatically. Shared groups sync to everyone in the group, and updates arrive on their own — no refresh button. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts, no sign-ups, and no servers of ours. Everything lives in your own iCloud. What you share is limited to the people you share it with, and the contents of a shared group are stored encrypted. Widget Now collects no analytics and shows no ads.
